Duration: 44 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC One HDLatest broadcast: on BBC Two HD

A family faces the biggest decision they'll ever make. After a trial week living on the other side of the world, will they decide to make the move to Australia for good?

Despite never having been, Garry and Michelle Simpson were all set to move their family to Australia in 2013 when tragedy struck - their four-year-old daughter was diagnosed with cancer. One year on, Fraja's cancer is now in remission, and the family are desperate to put the heartache of the last year behind them and make a fresh start down under.

A trial week living in Melbourne shows the family they could have the lifestyle they're dreaming of. But when emotional messages from home remind the family of the people they would be leaving behind in the UK, will the Simpsons decide to go ahead with a permanent move? Show less
